The Indian Premier League (IPL) entered the Guinness Book of World Records ahead of the IPL 2022 final at the largest cricket stadium in the world, Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on May 29, 2022.

As Gujarat Titans (GT) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) prepared to clash with one another in the final of the IPL 15, the BCCI presented a glittering closing ceremony for the packed crowd in the stadium.

During the ceremony, it was announced that the IPL registered itself in the Guinness Book of World Records by displaying the largest jersey at the end of the closing ceremony and host Ravi Shastri announced that it was the largest jersey in the world, measuring 66 x 44 meters.

The jersey was numbered 15, representing the 15th edition of the tournament. It also held the symbols of all the 10 teams that participated in IPL 2022.
